Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear.

If you want to know what you were conditioned to believe as a child, look at how you treat yourself now.

Self-judgment is how conditioned mind keeps control over your life.

When we make decisions, about eating or anything else, with an attitude of kindness and acceptance toward ourselves, with awareness of what is involved in our choices, the conflict between deprivation and indulgence ceases to exist.

When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is.

When you're experiencing peace, it's coming from within you; you're 'doing' peace and this is true of anything else you might be looking for. Love, happiness, contentment, well-being come from within. Nothing external needs to change for you to have what you want.....If you want to be happier - be happier. If you want to be more relaxed - relax. If you want more friends - be friendly. Sounds simple. It is.
